It's main advantage currently is to have version control and an automatic tinderbox run on 7/8/9 on i386 and amd64 for each commit. But there are a few problems with it's current design and it's not really a sandbox but more like a ports tree of the hell. So I started a few weeks ago thinking and planning about how to do it right. It's a lot of work that is needed to be done on the tinderbox side and every user needs his own subtree and things like support for multiple tinderboxes and multiple architectures and a small wiki ... I plan to create a first prototype but due to lack of time it all takes very long. But it's important to mention that this is planned as a free infrastructure for everyone targeted at ports committers and ports maintainers. Why do i mention this here? Because I think it could be a very good infrastructure that can also include projects with teams and many ports like xorg or gecko in one place without having to recreate all the infrastructure for every project. Just to mention it - this is in no way a replacement for the FreeBSD ports tree. It's only for development ports. Thoughts? Wishes? -- Bernhard Froehlich http://www.bluelife.at/
